Eclipse Rx’s second tip coming at you! It is helpful to bear in mind that the sun rays are at their strongest between 10am to 4pm. Avoid overexposure of your skin during these peak hours to guard against sunburn. 🌞

Here’s our first tip! Look out for more to come: There simply isn’t any better skin care regimen than the regular application and reapplication of sunscreen with a minimum Sun Protection Factor or SPF of 30. Anything less, simply isn’t substantial enough protection against the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Learn more at EclipseRx.com! 😎

This year's campaign will support programs at Prevent Cancer Foundation, Fight Colorectal Cancer, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Each of the foundations listed are making great strides in fighting, researching, and preventing cancer. Put down the razor, skip the hair appointment, and let's make the 2018 No-Shave November campaign the best year yet! DM to join my fundraising team #noshavenovember and get a #cancerscreening

Check this out: A recent study showed that most skin cancers in the United States develop on the left side of the face and body. Wonder why? Take a look at the driver in the photo! It is the left side of our bodies that is most vulnerable when we get behind the wheel. 😱

African Services Committee is thrilled to be hosting Mount Sinai’s Mobile Mammography Screening team all day today as they conduct mammography screening services outside ASC’s office in Harlem. Thanks to Mount Sinai, Health Research Inc., and the NYS Department of Health for making this important program possible.

It was wonderful to recently take part in a #cancerscreening talk in #Berlin with Minister Counselor Übersetzerteam US-Botschaft John McCaslin, chemoWave creator Matt Lashey and other great minds like Gabriele Kaczmarczyk, who has dedicated her life to equal opportunities and gender medicine in Germany.

The number of MEN in SA being diagnosed with late stage cancer is on the rise. #KnowledgeIsPower and can change the lives of men drastically if they are aware of early warning signs and symptoms of male cancers. CANSA highlights these symptoms in #November, in the hope that men will not delay screening. #EarlyDetection improves treatment outcomes so CANSA shares knowledge to educate and lower the cancer and health risk regarding: - #ProstateCancer - #ColorectalCancer - #LungCancer - #KaposiSarcoma (a type of skin cancer) - #BladdeCancer - #TesticularCancer Men need to be pro-active about their health and should recognise warning signs. We encourage monthly testicular self-examinations, annual medical check-ups and cancer screening for early detection, as symptoms don’t always present until cancer has spread. Men also need to lead a healthy, balanced lifestyle, cutting out lifestyle factors that increase their cancer risk.

APPRECIATION ALERT: My team & I spent sunny Saturday afternoon on the streets of Ikorodu passionately sharing fliers and leaflets about #freecancerscreening we make available every Friday at our Centre. It’s going to 2 years we have been at the location and we have seen more than 3,000+ women already but we expect more women to turn up to get screened. It is my hope and vision that a Centre like ours is in every major community of Nigeria 🇳🇬 In the meantime, help me appreciate my small but effective team. A man can only be as good as the team that works with him. Kudos and much love to them all 😍💕👋🏼👋🏼 👍🏽 #ikorodu#ikoroduoga#cancerscreening#cancerawareness#team#teamwork#teamatwork

Kirsty survived cervical cancer, and is the first woman in Australia to give birth without a cervix. Having her baby was nothing short of a miracle, which is why she wants to make sure Aussies know the importance of vaccination and screening.⠀ ⠀ This Cervical Cancer Awareness Week, we want to answer your questions. Ask us anything about cervical cancer in our Stories ☝️ or visit www.cancer.org.au/cervicalscreening to read more information about the new screening test ✔️

Stopped by the @colorectalcanceralliance Dallas @undyrunwalk while in town visiting family yesterday. Each of us has had a relative diagnosed with #ColorectalCancer (not including my own diagnosis). Screening can save your life. If this inflatable colon were representative of my own, no one would be posing underneath it because the only thing that would fit would be a mouse. My tumor was blocking my entire bowel and even then multiple physicians told me I was too young to get a colonoscopy. Do not let fear stop you from saving your life! #dontdieofembarASSment

Real talk. Even doctors get stressed about medical stuff. And I’m sweating it out a bit this weekend. 7 years from the age I am right now, my Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. . So on Monday, I have my first screening for colon cancer. While I’m nervous about drinking the prep, being sedated, and the possible results. What’s bothering me more are the big questions coming up. . Questions like...if I knew I only had 10 years left to live, have I done enough? Have I completed the things I dreamed of while on this planet? Have I helped and reached enough people with cancer? Are there gifts I’m still hiding? Or have I left it all on the dance floor? Have I loved the way I’ve wanted to? . Honestly, while everyday I’m trying to leave it all on the dance floor...it’s easy to get caught up in the day to day. Forget how precious this whole human experience is. And take the people I love for granted. . In an attempt to keep living my life to the fullest and learn more about this Earthly experience I’ve started The Science and Soul of Healing Podcast, now on iTunes. Would love it if you tuned in and let me know what you think!

I didn’t open up about, but now that we have a final answer, I feel it is so important to share. 6 September I was told my routine 3 yearly #cervicalscreening came back with abnormal results. We were called in for a colposcopy where they told me it was not on the outside but in the canal itself. This makes it automatically a more serious situation. They did two biopsies to rule out endometrial cancer and that came back clear. This left us with them believing it was only in the canal and it was early stage cancer. I was called in for a loop cone biopsy where they removed 2cm of my cervix. Yesterday the results came back it thank you Lord it is not cancer but Tubo endometrial-metaplasia. It is a benign condition that MIMICS cancer! Thankfully they believed to have removed it all so further screenings should be clear. So my message today - BOOK YOUR SCREENING! Don’t delay. There are no symptoms and if discovered early it is one of the MOST curable cancers. #abnormalsmear#cervicalcancer#mumofthree#twinmum#ukmum#cancerscreening#jostrust#mumssupportingmums#womenshealth

Today At The Foundation: It’s a weekly routine for us to expect A large turnout of ladies on Fridays for our free breast/ cervical cancer seminar and free screening. Today was not any different at the Foundation. Mrs Fadekemi Ibiwoyeoba was awarded 1st Lady as she arrived at 7:10am. She was informed by her sister six years ago about cervical cancer, and she has been consistently coming for screening ever since at two yearly intervals. Her advice to women is "one-off screening is not enough to fight cervical/breast cancer, women should be consistent in catering for their health by attending regular screening”. Miss Dien Grace Sandra, was awarded deputy First Lady -she arrived just one hour after the First Lady. She became health conscious after receiving a test result from her school, so she decided to come in for just a breast scan but felt it important to have her cervix checked after listening to the seminar delivered by @drfemi. She is grateful to the @optimalcancerfoundation for putting up this program and would advise young girls to be health-conscious, not throwing every medical problem to prayers only. We also had testimonies from other beneficiaries of today’s #Freescreeningfriday. 1. From Amaka Ifeka: "It was a good experience, this is the kind of good works we want to be seeing around. I am glad I got screened, I will come back for my vaccine and will help spread this piece of knowledge on social media and ladies around me". . . 2. Sarah Nwachi: "It's great that Dr Femi Olaleye put up a program like this and the way he taught gave me a better understanding of cervical cancer. I came here alone, didn't tell mum because she is very inquisitive 😉😂, but now, having received this knowledge, I am definitely telling her and my aunt about the cancer, not just telling them, I will bring them here for the screening". Ladies, we learnt today that once cancerous cells start to spread , we are left with a slim chance of offering a cure. Therefore, Early detection is key!!! Please Go get Screened !!! #cancerscreening#cancerawareness#freescreening
